"Fatimah bint Hubairah came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] with a big ring on her hand." He (the narrator) said: "This is what I found in the book of my father, a huge ring."- "The Messenger of Allah [SAW] started hitting her hand, so she entered upon Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah [SAW], and complained to her about what the Messenger of Allah [SAW] had done. Fatimah took off a gold chain from her neck and said: 'This was given to me by Abu Hasan.' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] came in and ﷺ the chain in her hand. He said: 'O Fatimah, would you like the people to say that the daughter of the Messenger of Allah [SAW] has a chain of fire in her hand?' Then he went out, without sitting down. Fatimah sent the chain to the market and sold it, and she bought a slave with the money, and set him free. He was told of that and he said: 'Praise be to Allah, Who has saved Fatimah from the Fire.'"

[Machine] Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , narrated that the daughter of Hubayrah entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with gold rings called "al-Fatakh" on her hand. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to strike her hand with a stick and said, "Would it not please you that Allah should place in your hand rings of fire?" So she went to Fatimah and complained to her about what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had done to her. He (Thawban) said: "I and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and he stood behind the door. Whenever he sought permission, he stood behind the door." He (Thawban) said: "So Fatimah said to her: 'Look at this necklace that Abu Hassan has given to me.' He (Thawban) said: 'And she had a necklace made of gold in her hand.' So the Prophet ﷺ entered and said: 'O Fatimah, isn't it just for people to say Fatimah bint Muhammad, and yet you have a necklace made of fire in your hand?' Then he reproached her severely, and then he left without sitting down. So she commanded for the necklace to be sold, and it was sold, and with its price she bought a slave and freed him. When the Prophet ﷺ heard about this, he praised Allah and said: 'All praise is due to Allah who has saved Fatimah from the Fire.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon Fatimah and I was with him. She had taken a golden necklace from her neck, and she said, "Abu Hassan gave this as a gift to me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Fatimah, would it please you if people said, 'Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad,' while you have a necklace of fire in your hand?" Then he left without sitting. Fatimah then hurried to the necklace, sold it, and bought a slave whom she freed. When the Prophet ﷺ was informed about this, he said, "All praise is due to Allah, who saved Fatimah from the Fire." This hadith is considered authentic according to the conditions of the two sheikhs (referring to Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim), but it is not mentioned in their collections.

[Machine] The daughter of Hubayrah came to the Prophet ﷺ with a handful of gold rings. The Prophet ﷺ struck her hand, so she went to Fatimah and complained to her. Thawban entered with the Prophet ﷺ to Fatimah and I was with them. She had taken a gold chain from her neck and said, "Abu Hassan gave this to me." She had the chain in her hand, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Are you pleased that people say, 'Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, has a chain of fire in her hand?'" Then he left, without sitting. Fatimah proceeded to sell the chain and bought a slave girl with it, whom she then freed. When the Prophet ﷺ heard about this, he said, "Praise be to Allah who saved Fatimah from the Fire." Abu al-Hasan ibn Abdan informed us, Ahmad ibn Ubayd narrated to us, Tamtam narrated to us from Muhammad ibn Ghaleb, from Musa, from Hammam, from Yahya, from Zaid ibn Abi Salamah, from his grandfather, who said that Abu Asma told him that Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , said something similar, so these narrations and what is mentioned in them indicate the prohibition of adorning oneself with gold.
